If the applicant has a nationality or belongs to a category of such a national for whom prior consultation is requested by a/some Member State(s) consultation of those States' central authority is required pursuant to Article 22 of the Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 of 13 juillet 2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a Community Code on Visas (Visa Code)
— le troisième alinéa est remplacé par le texte suivant:

3. Le point 2.1.1.2. est remplacé par le texte suivant:
«If and only if a State intends to represent another State or to be represented by another State, the consultation procedure shall meet the requirements referred to in Article 8 of the Visa Code and in the representation arrangements concerned, as described in the below sample process pictures (pictures 1 and 2).
Consultation when processing a visa application in the context of representation shall be subject to the following rules, in accordance with Article 22 of the Visa Code, and can be carried out in the framework of one or both of the following scenarios:
Picture 1 — Norway representing Sweden
Norway’s central authorities are to ensure that necessary consultations of the other States take place. The absence of a reply within seven (7) days shall mean that the consulted State(s) has(have) no grounds for objecting to the issuing of the visa. If the represented State (Sweden) wants to be involved this has to be laid down in a bilateral representation arrangement between the States involved (Norway and Sweden). In that case, the represented State must always reply to the representing State's FORM F using a FORM G (obligation to reply). A visa cannot be issued if no reply indicating consent is received. The represented State may specify on the FORM G reply, that a Visa of Limited Territorial Validity (VLTV) should be issued in the framework of representation. In this case, all other Schengen States are duly notified (by means of a FORM C) of the VLTV's issued by the representing State. It is not necessary to state the territory to which the visa is limited.
Picture 2 — Norway representing Sweden
Sweden’s central authorities are to ensure that necessary consultations of the other State(s) take place.

«If a Member State receives an alleged erroneous form R, it has to discard this form R without processing it. This means that the Member State should ignore forms R that seem to be invalid. Consequently an application which had to discard potentially malformed forms R will have remaining, unacknowledged forms A,....., H which will have to be resent until a valid form R arrives. If the problem persists it has to be solved bilaterally by technical staff.»;
